Windows 7: Can't Read From Disk error

Ok well I made a DVD of all my most important stuff the other day, and thank god i did because my PC crashed the next day lol. I just reinstalled windows 7 64 bit , I installed all the updates. But when I go to get stuff off my DVD it won't let me it says "Can't read from disk", even though I was able to get stuff off it fine the other day.

We need a bunch more info. what app did you burn the cd with. Have you tried booting into safe mode (F8) to see if the problem continues? system specs?

Explorer does show me everything on the disks, not just the folder names I can actually see all the right files in them. Everything is good on the disc , but when I go to copy the files some of the files say "can't read from disk" and then some of them will actually transfer, but so slow its insane. I've been transferring a 300 MB folder of my pictures for about 3 hours now , its only going 10 kb a sec lol

I have 4 GB of ddr2 ram and a intel q6600 qaud core cpu , it shouldn't take 3 hours to move 300 mb lol. My cpu and ram performance are at normal levels too.

I seem to have made a mess here.
I had Vista 64x and W7 build 7057 set up in a dual boot with W7 on a 30Gb partition.
